Virtual therapy, or telehealth, is a form of counseling through secure video sessions. It provides a confidential, accessible way to work directly with a licensed therapist, no matter where you are. This form of therapy empowers clients to explore emotional challenges, build healthy coping strategies, and work toward personal growth—all from the comfort and privacy of home.
At Pillars Health Group, our experienced therapists tailor each virtual therapy session to each client’s unique needs. Our clinicians bring compassionate, focused care directly to each individual, helping them work through any mental health or lifestyle challenges.
Read on to discover who could benefit from virtual therapy, and how we use virtual therapy across New England to treat mental health.
How We Use Virtual Therapy in Treatment
Virtual therapy is an integral part of our Half-Day and Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Programs. These programs are designed to support a broad spectrum of mental health challenges. Through individualized and group sessions, each client receives focused care from a master’s-level therapist. And with virtual therapy, you can receive support without the need to travel.
During individual virtual therapy sessions, clients work one-on-one with a skilled therapist to address their unique challenges, strengthen motivation, and decrease self-destructive behaviors. Through a combination of empathy, guidance, and structured support, therapists assist clients in managing overwhelming emotions and moving toward both acceptance and meaningful change.
In group virtual therapy sessions, clients participate in a safe, supportive space where they can connect with others, share experiences, and gain insight from their peers. This group dynamic fosters a strong sense of connection, combats isolation, and promotes mutual accountability.
Together, the individual and group virtual therapy formats combine a personalized approach with peer support.
Is Virtual Therapy Right for You?
Choosing virtual therapy depends on your lifestyle, comfort with technology, and treatment goals. Many clients find that remote sessions offer the same quality as in-person care, with the added convenience of attending therapy from home.
Virtual therapy might be a good fit if:
- You prefer a private, confidential setting without the need to commute.
- You’re looking for therapy that adapts to your schedule and location.
- You want to address deep-rooted emotional pain, or trauma in a one-on-one setting.
- You’re looking for peer support from group sessions.
- You’re managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health conditions.
- You value consistent, focused attention from a dedicated therapist.
- You’re seeking support through grief, job loss, relationship changes, or other major life events.
- You’re interested in long-term therapeutic relationships with flexible delivery options.
Virtual therapy offers a highly accessible and effective way to receive professional support from the comfort of home. If an in-person therapy session seems daunting to you, then all you need to make virtual therapy work is a reliable internet connection and a private, quiet space.
